Portland and Minneapolis are just a few of many Democratic cities that are in absolute shambles morally.
A majority of Democratic cities are just a terrible experience to be subjected to. A sea of absolute desperation, poverty, homelessness, social disorder with a small, very pretentious elite speeding down the roads in expensive cars.
Looks like Democratic Portland already has 43 homicides on the books for 2021, which is more than triple the total of 2013.
But Oklahoma City is a progressive city caused by liberal Republican mayors persuading citizens to go vote YES periodically to keep the city sales tax up to make government bigger by paying for new civic improvement projects, such as massive Scissortail Park and the downtown street trolley for starters. Also the liberal Republican mayor forced a mask mandate upon the city until ending it April 30. The latest round of government civic improvement expansion projects cost close to $1 billion.
It is worth noting that Minneapolis' 2009 murder total was one of the lowest it has posted in the last 100 years. Things aren't great here but they aren't as bad as the mid '90s and are still better than cities like Indianapolis or Kansas City, let alone Chicago, Detroit or St Louis.
To put it in perspective the following are cities that are smaller or similar in size to Minneapolis (within the city limits) and their homicide totals so far this year. Cities are posted in order of city limit population:
Atlanta 62
Kansas City, MO 67
Miami 29
Minneapolis 38
Oakland 57
Tampa, FL 21
St Petersburg 17
Tulsa, OK 28
Wichita 23
New Orleans 94
Cleveland 62
Cincinnati 30
Saint Louis 82
Pittsburgh, PA 34
Baton Rouge 67
Little Rock, AR 28
Birmingham 48
Minneapolis could do better but it isn't the worst. WTF is going on in Baton Rouge? It isn't even a big city.

Perhaps its time to pack your bags and move to Jacksonville. Just be careful there as there is a fairly decent chance of getting murdered there.
